Choosing and making PVC curtains for the gazebo with your own hands

Construction and finishing of the gazebo is not everything. For a garden house you need to choose curtains. Moreover, they are practically vital there. Agree, on a hot summer day, if the sun's rays hit the gazebo, you won't be able to sit at the table for a long time.

In stores you can be offered different types of curtains, both in terms of materials of manufacture and in terms of the mechanism of movement of the panels. From this article you will learn about three types of curtains for gazebos: woven, polyvinyl chloride and metal. In addition, we will tell you how to make PVC curtains for a gazebo in the country.

Acrylic protection

Curtains made of this material will not only help decorate a terrace or decorate a gazebo in the country, but will also reliably protect you from bad weather and bright sunlight. At the same time, such products retain heat well inside, and with the heater on, you can spend time in the gazebo even in cold weather.

Acrylic is resistant to ultraviolet radiation, temperatures from -25 to +60 degrees and is impervious to humidity. In addition, the fabric is durable and can withstand various mechanical damage - in this regard, acrylic curtains are similar to rain blinds (however, external blinds provide much less protection against heat leakage).

Roller blinds made of acrylic are installed in U-shaped grooves, which ensures tightness when the curtains are completely closed.

Acrylic fabric provides reliable protection from wind and rain, but does not provide 100% light resistance. The sun's rays are not blocked, but diffused, making the lighting very interesting.

Thus, there are many options for curtains for gazebos, verandas and terraces: fabric, polymer or even metal - rafter blinds. It all depends on the tasks assigned to the curtains - aesthetic or practical.

Installation of vertical devices

A guide cornice equipped with a sliding mechanism is the main part of the design of vertical blinds. With its installation, the fastening of protective devices begins:

• so that the lamellas do not touch the frame, when marking, ensure the required distance of 6 cm between the plates and the guide;
• the central screw is released, after which the brackets are adjusted according to their size;
• special clamps for nuts and screws are fixed on the frame or bracket in increments of 50 cm, onto which the guide is subsequently attached;
• the cornice is inserted into the clamp until the final click - the guide is installed;
• the lamellas are fixed with special loops on latches when the canvas is open;
• The final stage is to attach a plumb line to the cord that controls the blinds mechanism.

Vertical blinds consist of a guide cornice with a sliding mechanism that also rotates the system.

We mount vertical blinds with our own hands and in 2 stages:

• installation of a cornice with its guide;
• fastening of lamellas.

• When marking, we will indicate exactly the distance between the guide and the frame - 6 cm (then the material does not touch the frame).
• We adjust the brackets in length by releasing the central screw.
• We will place the clamps on the nuts and screws for fastening the guide at a distance of 50 cm from each other: we can place them on the bracket or on the frame.
• We mount the guide by inserting the cornice into the clamp until it clicks.
• The slats in the mechanism rotate and the canvas opens. We insert them separately: after all, each strip has a loop for a latch.
• Special instructions indicate that when positioned correctly, the seam is not visible when closed.
• Attach a plumb bob to the cord included in the kit to control the blinds.

Choosing curtains for a garden gazebo and veranda: design secrets

An open veranda or gazebo is a favorite place for spending leisure time of the inhabitants of the dacha. On a hot afternoon, the roof vaults shelter us from the scorching sun or summer thunderstorms, and in the evening they create an environment conducive to pleasant meetings with friends and family. But in order to make your stay as comfortable as possible and the surrounding space more cozy, the open walls of the structure should be decorated by choosing appropriate curtains for the gazebo and veranda.

Types of outdoor curtains for gazebos

Outdoor curtains are designed not only to perform an aesthetic function, acting as a bright accent of design, but also to solve practical problems:

• protect from sunlight and annoying insects;
• skillfully hide design flaws and advantageously emphasize its advantages;
• With the onset of cool days, keep warm indoors.

The curtains on the market can be divided into three types: fabric, PVC sheets and protective awnings. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each of them, you can simplify your task of selecting an option that will fully meet all your expectations.

Properly selected curtains can create an atmosphere of homely warmth, while leaving an excellent opportunity to enjoy the picturesque landscape and fresh air

Fabric sheets

Outdoor curtains made from ordinary textiles are perfect for both glazed gazebos and open structures. They do not interfere with natural ventilation, creating the most comfortable conditions for relaxation.

Curtains made of silk, organza, and chiffon look very impressive.

Light fabrics hung on a curtain or drawstring in the form of gathers bring a touch of lightness and airiness to the interior of a gazebo or veranda

Denser and heavier fabrics, such as canvas, linen or teak, are more convenient to hang like Roman blinds, forming them into laconic folds.

Canvases fluttering slightly in the wind, resembling sails in appearance, are a worthy decoration for a Mediterranean-style interior

Curtains made from natural materials, such as straw, bamboo, hemp, can emphasize the eco-style of the building, naturally fitting into the landscape design. Curtains made from natural materials look especially impressive as a frame for gazebos and verandas built from wood.

Rope thread curtains, decorated with beads, beads and miniature leaves, and having a translucent light structure, amaze with their unusualness and beauty

Curtains made from Blackout fabric will help add a touch of romance and create an atmosphere of privacy. Thanks to the multi-layer structure and special fiber structure, the material completely retains light, shading the room by 90-100%.

Original options are obtained when combining fabrics of different densities, when Blackout curtains are complemented by a transparent veil, creating a “day and night” effect.

But textile curtains are good only in the warm season. They will not save you from gusts of wind and rain. And the service life of products, even with careful care and gentle treatment, is limited to 5-7 seasons.

To ensure that curtains made of light and translucent fabrics repel insects, experts recommend impregnating them with special water-soluble compounds after each wash, which can be purchased at gardening centers.

Protective awnings

You want to spend time comfortably outdoors not only on fine days, but also in bad weather. Protective curtains for gazebos are ideal for these purposes.

Awning curtains act as a kind of barrier that protects the interior space from the encroachment of insects, rain and other climatic somersaults

When opened, such curtains retain heat perfectly. On cool days, to create a comfortable environment under the roof of the gazebo, you can safely turn on the heater without worrying that the heat will evaporate outside.

Curtains made of awning or barrier fabric are the most popular option, successfully combining functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The basis for their manufacture is tarpaulin or polyvinyl chloride-coated lavsan fabric. There are also synthetic fabrics coated with acrylic and Teflon varnishes on sale. An additional coating ensures that the material is resistant to fading and destruction under the influence of UV rays. The processed material is able to withstand temperature changes from -25°C to +60°C.

Acrylic fabrics are often used in the manufacture of roller blinds - structures with U-shaped grooves that ensure tightness on the sides

Acrylic fabrics have good moisture-repellent properties. The average density of the material is 280 g/m2, which provides it with high strength characteristics. Acrylic canvases are also famous for their ability to diffuse the sun's rays penetrating through them, creating an interesting lighting effect in the room. The only drawback of the material is its rigidity. This leads to the fact that when curtains are folded and stored folded frequently, folds and microcracks appear in places where they are folded.

In addition, such protection leaves an imprint on the appearance and interior of the veranda. Therefore, you should approach the choice of product thoroughly, carefully weighing all the pros and cons.

Sheer PVC curtains

Colored and transparent PVC fabrics decorate many gazebos today.

Soft curtains made of PVC material are very similar to fabric curtains in terms of external and functional parameters: they can be wrapped, lifted and tied

The only difference between colored and transparent PVC sheets is that the latter are made without adding fabric cord to them.

If you focus on quality characteristics, then PVC curtains are more practical and reliable than their competitors. Canvases made from PVC materials have a lot of advantages:

• They are lightweight, yet durable.
• They stretch well, but retain their original shape.
• Resistant to dampness.
• They are easy to work with and sew.

To remove contamination, simply wipe the surface with a cloth soaked in soapy water. In case of repair, the defect can be corrected using PVC glue.

Many people choose transparent curtains based on aesthetic parameters. After all, they perfectly transmit the sun's rays, while creating the effect of open space.

Transparent films perfectly transmit sunlight without refracting them, and therefore can easily replace glazing. Using such curtains, you can safely furnish a space with furniture upholstered in textiles and not worry that it will deteriorate from dampness.

If we compare the quality characteristics of transparent and colored PVC sheets, the former are still inferior to the latter.

Products that combine transparent and colored fabrics look interesting. Decorative inserts make the gazebo openings more comfortable

Criteria for choosing outdoor curtains

The choice of one type of curtain or another largely depends on what task they are intended to perform.

But in any case, there are a number of requirements that apply to outdoor curtains for gazebos and verandas:

1. Strength of the material. The fabric must withstand short-term wind loads.
2. Weather resistant. They must reliably protect the inhabitants from any kind of precipitation.
3. Combination with other design elements. The awning must be harmoniously combined with the architectural ensemble of the gazebo and the overall design of the area adjacent to the building.

If you focus on the color palette, then curtains painted in natural shades are more suitable for decorating verandas and gazebos. Outdoor curtains in light shades do not weigh down the structure and do not visually overload the space.

To diversify the interior of the room and at the same time organically fit it into the surrounding landscape, you can choose curtains with floral patterns

If plain fabrics seem boring to you, fabrics with contrasting patterns will help add bright touches to the atmosphere.

Motley curtains of colorful shades will create a special festive mood, making the interior brighter and richer

It is better to choose colors that will harmoniously combine with other bright elements of the landscape design of the site. Otherwise, the gazebo will look like a foreign object on the site.

Those who strive for unusual solutions will certainly like the idea of ​​decorating openings with bamboo curtains.

Like Roman fabric curtains, bamboo curtains can softly diffuse daylight, bringing a romantic atmosphere to the room.

As an alternative to traditional curtains, horizontal and vertical bamboo blinds are also perfect.

If you dream of creating a “piece of paradise,” you should consider the idea of ​​decorating a gazebo with a canopy.

By decorating the building with a canopy, complemented by fabric curtains, you will get a fantastic effect, making the gazebo look like a fairy-tale palace

If possible, purchase two types of curtains in reserve: for everyday use and for special events. Then, at a festive event held within the walls of a cozy gazebo, you can surprise guests by placing design accents to advantage with the help of elegant fabric curtains.

Color solutions

If you look at photos of structures that use soft windows, you will notice that the material differs in transparency. However, this is not done for aesthetics - this is due to the fact that the material is different in its structure.

If you need to purchase a more durable material, then it is recommended to turn your attention to dense PVC, which includes more lavsan fibers in its composition. The usual type of curtains will only resemble a transparent film

However, this does not mean at all that transparent windows will fulfill their direct obligations worse, since modern options fully meet all requirements related to operation.

An effective and modern solution would be to purchase soft windows with colored edges. They can have almost any shade. Translucent fabrics and materials with different colors are also equally popular. It would be ideal to harmonize a soft window with a color matched to the building; this will help maintain harmony in the design of the exterior of the facade. In this case, even a metal frame may be suitable.

Not so long ago, combined type windows were popular, where the top was transparent and the bottom was colored, but single-color solutions are still more popular.

Methods for attaching curtains

The method of attaching outdoor curtains largely depends on the material of manufacture and the design features of the building.

Curtains are attached using special straps and hooks, which are screwed onto self-tapping screws around the perimeter of the open openings of the gazebo.

The curtains are hung, secured with brackets, which can be made in one of two options:

• rotating elements;
• sliding system;
• brackets with straps.

The system using rotary brackets is considered the most reliable. To install it, brackets equipped with spring rotating mechanisms are inserted through eyelets evenly spaced around the perimeter of the canvas. When the bracket is turned, the curtain is fixed in the unfolded position, and the canvas is tensioned.

The fastening system with rotating brackets allows you to hold heavy canvases, preventing them from falling off even in windy weather

By placing the eyelets around the perimeter of the canvas, you will be able to freely unfold the curtains in whole or in part, and after use, freely roll them into a tight roll.

A veranda or gazebo is an open space that is daily exposed to an aggressive environment. Therefore, when choosing guides for attaching curtains, you should choose products made from non-oxidizing materials.

The sliding system for attaching outdoor curtains to the veranda is no less convenient. The method involves installing a guide and rollers connected to it, or installing a cable with carabiners suspended on it.

A sliding mechanism of guides and rollers allows you to move the curtains horizontally, ensuring the walls are completely open or, conversely, creating a dense screen

If you plan to hang light fabric, the cables can be replaced with metal beams, and the carabiners can be replaced with straps sewn to the curtains. To tension the fabric, you just need to put its holes on the staples and secure them with straps with a fastener.

Pros and cons of soft windows

But why choose soft windows for gazebos and terraces? - You ask. “After all, you can use classic window blocks that have been proven for a long time. Do supporters of PVC curtains really have convincing arguments in favor of roller products? It turns out there are some very significant ones.

Price

Yes, soft windows cannot be called cheap, but this is when you compare them with ordinary greenhouse film, but they are 5-6 times more expensive than even a budget PVC block.

Mobility

Rolling out rolls of flexible glazing and securing them with locks around the perimeter of the gazebo takes fifteen to twenty minutes. And one person can easily cope with this task.

Freeing frames from heavy, glazed sashes, as well as installing them back, is a task three orders of magnitude more difficult and more time-consuming.

This procedure is carried out a maximum of twice a year: at the end of the heating season and immediately before it begins. And if it’s September in July and it’s raining, then all the gatherings will have to be moved indoors.

Elasticity

And the PVC curtain cannot be broken. A stone accidentally thrown towards the gazebo will not force you to call a glazier and count your losses. But there is also a minus here. Tent film, like stretch ceilings, is afraid of cuts, so scratching it with sharp objects is strictly not recommended. Although, to be completely honest, even ordinary glass will not be delighted with such treatment.

Easy installation

In addition, we will say that the installation of film curtains itself will be simpler than the installation of window blocks. In order to roll out soft windows, you only need a stapler, screwdriver and our step-by-step instructions.

We will send the material by email

We'll tell you which curtains to choose for outdoor gazebos and verandas that are durable and reliable, able to withstand weather changes and delight you with their attractive appearance. We will tell you what is the best material to use for sewing them, and what appropriate methods of attaching them to them. Photos will clearly illustrate the advantages of the most practical solutions.

Peculiarities

Flexible windows are made from polyvinyl chloride film, which has a dense structure and excellent technical characteristics. They perfectly replace glass materials for creating transparent fencing in various rooms: verandas, attics, gazebos, terraces. The owners of summer restaurants and cafes were the first to appreciate soft windows.

This product can be used all year round. Thanks to this installation, comfortable conditions are created in the summer when it rains. In addition to rain and wind, the film can protect the structure from snow in winter.

Due to the fact that flexible window structures are made of high quality PVC, according to user reviews, they have a lot of advantages that deserve a detailed description.

Acceptable product price. The cost of soft windows is 2 times less than that of classic glazing with a wooden or plastic frame.

High resistance to deformation (tensile, tearing).

Product safety

If the material is torn or cut, it can be easily replaced, this is important if there are small children.

Quick installation and dismantling of the material. The structure can be installed and dismantled within a few minutes

The main thing is to purchase the necessary fasteners and tools.

Attractive appearance. Such windows do not hide the structure, and also allow you to admire the surrounding nature while being in a comfortable room.

• Long service life, more than 10 years. The durability of the product is determined by the technical characteristics of the building material, which is resistant to aggressive environments.
• A wide range of products, from which you can choose the appropriate variation of windows of the desired design and color.
• The product can withstand temperatures in the range of -40… +80 degrees without losing quality characteristics.
• Easy care. Flexible window structures can be maintained either manually or automatically.
• The material is non-toxic, as a result, it does not cause allergic reactions. At high temperatures it does not melt and does not emit harmful substances.

In addition to a large number of advantages, flexible windows have certain disadvantages that need to be taken into account:

• If you use this product carelessly, there is a risk of deformation of the canvas, which cannot be repaired. Such material must be replaced with new one.
• High thermal expansion rate. At low degrees, the material compresses, which can lead to rupture of the fabric at the point of stretching.
• The material does not allow air to pass through, so in poorly ventilated areas there will be a high level of humidity and temperature.

Main purpose

If there is a gazebo on the site, it allows you to spend a lot of time outdoors. People have lunch and dinner here, welcome guests, celebrate birthdays, so it is useful to choose projects that can satisfy all these needs at the planning stage. You always want to decorate, refine, and make a finished gazebo feel homey. The easiest way to do this is to hang curtains.

They will create a barrier for annoying insects, protect from the scorching sun in the heat, and shelter from bad weather. By hanging them, you can hide from prying eyes or disguise unsightly design details. A gazebo, decorated with curtains, becomes the central decoration of the garden. This design helps create a special atmosphere for others. It softens the “silhouette” of the building and adds elegance. In addition, gazebo curtains increase the functionality of the interior space.

Manufacturers today offer a wide range of ready-made products that can be used for designated purposes. They differ from each other in the material of manufacture, the form of tailoring, and the design of the cut. But all outdoor curtains can demonstrate high wear resistance and resistance to fading. They do not support the combustion of open fire, their surface repels dirt and water.

Buying curtains for a gazebo will be expensive: they are made from materials whose properties meet all the requirements listed above. But such expenses are justified from an economic point of view: the products will last at least five seasons, throughout this time they will delight with their appearance and serve their intended purpose properly. If you choose cheap fabrics and sew curtains from them for an outdoor gazebo, they will wear out by the end of summer.

On our website you can get acquainted with the most popular projects of garden houses - from construction companies presented at the exhibition of houses "Low-Rise Country".

Today curtains for the veranda and gazebo are sewn:

To decorate open spaces, you can also choose ready-made systems (soft PVC and Black Out windows).

Fabric

They are considered a classic decoration option. Linen, chiffon, and organza are usually used for their manufacture. The materials are pre-treated with water-repellent and dirt-repellent impregnations, so fabric products meet all the requirements for operating an open space. They are traditionally used to decorate closed verandas, but they can also be used to decorate open gazebos.

Light and airy materials help create a feeling of freedom, which has a beneficial effect on the atmosphere. The more massive the gazebo, the simpler the cut design should be, the denser the curtain fabrics should be. The lighter the design, the more transparent the fabric. This principle allows you to make the right choice.

Tarpaulin curtains usually work on the principle of roller structures. The fabric is wound on a durable shaft. He's hiding in a box upstairs. Control is carried out manually or automatically. Often such products are chosen when the weather in the regions is very changeable, when there is no desire to build a separate closed veranda for receiving guests and make do with what is called small funds. I put up such a curtain in sunny weather, and it’s very pleasant to relax in nature. It started to rain, the wind blew, I lowered the curtains, and protected myself and my guests from the weather.

Bamboo curtains are ideal for verandas and terraces; they are worth buying if you want to create a special stylistic space. They may have different designs. There are models that work like regular roll products, others like screens assembled like a book, and others that look more like wall panels than curtains. One thing remains unchanged - the material of manufacture. Bamboo is not afraid of sunlight, it does not fade in the sun for a long time, and practically does not absorb moisture, so it is ideal for decorating open spaces.

On our website you can find contacts of construction companies that specialize in the development and construction of small architectural forms. You can communicate directly with representatives by visiting the “Low-Rise Country” exhibition of houses.

Soft PVC windows can be completely transparent or translucent, combined, with patterns, with ornaments. They are very practical, easy to use, and inexpensive. But they don't look attractive. In fact, in appearance such products look like tinted polyethylene. It fits very poorly into the classic design style. But such a solution is fully justified in gazebos created according to the design of modern concepts.

Mounting options

The choice of fastening method determines the type of fabric used to sew curtains. If the cut of the curtains suggests that they will simply hang from above and gather in soft folds, standard ceiling cornices and plastic hooks are usually used.

In order to hang organza or tulle, you can simply sew straps on top and use them to secure the material to a thin pipe cornice. This solution looks very stylish.

Roller fastening is the best solution where you often need to lower and raise curtains.

For the installation of soft PVC windows and the Black Out system, special fittings are selected, which are always included in the kit. Only it can provide tension on a dense fabric.

Today there are automatic sliding structures on sale; curtains on the veranda at the dacha can be attached using metal eyelets. Therefore, choosing something suitable in terms of price and functionality will not be difficult.

We make blinds ourselves

There are affordable ways to make homemade blinds without a sliding mechanism, for example, sewing them from canvas.

From fabric

Scheme of blinds for an outdoor gazebo made of thick fabric.

• The optimal width of the elements is 6-9 cm, so that the large ones do not sag, and we get tired of processing the narrow ones.
• We fold the panels in half and cut them according to the pattern with seam allowances.
• We sew the ribbons (with the right side inward) on 3 sides.
• Turn it inside out, iron it, and hem the raw edge.
• We cover the upper sections with thick braid.
• We make a loop (ring) on ​​top of each plate.
• We hang the blinds using these hinges.
• We will cover the cornice with a baguette.

From wallpaper

It’s easier to make blinds for a gazebo from a piece of wallpaper.

To work you need:

• a piece of wallpaper (preferably for painting: thin, they transmit light perfectly);
• stationery knife;
• ruler;
• Double-sided tape;
• clothesline;
• retainer;
• hole puncher.

Note! These blinds are straightened and assembled with a clamp.

Sequencing:

• measure the opening and cut the corresponding piece of wallpaper, and make the length with a margin of 30 cm;
• we will make an accordion of the desired width, although 3 cm is considered optimal (the upper edge looks like an unfinished step, the lower one is finished);
• use a hole punch in the folded accordion to make holes in the center;
• Apply double-sided tape to the bottom edge, not reaching 5 cm from the middle;
• insert the rope and fully straighten the blinds to measure the length of the rope;
• Now we fix the rope with a knot on the upper edge and seal it with double-sided tape;
• in a straightened form, cut the rope with a reserve for the clamp and end switch;
• Let's thread a rope through it and tie a knot;
• Use double-sided tape to attach the product to the opening.

Decorative fabric curtains

Fabric curtains for gazebos and verandas perform several useful functions at once. First of all, they serve as an original decorative decoration, with which you can easily and simply improve the appearance of the gazebo both outside and inside. If you sew curtains from opaque material, you can easily hide from prying eyes behind such curtains. They serve as excellent protection against mosquitoes and other insects, which is especially important for those who like to relax in the fresh air in the summer. Fabric curtains can also be used as sun-protection curtains for gazebos and verandas.

The advantages of this type of curtains include the ease of their manufacture and installation, the low cost of consumables and the ability to freely allow fresh air into the room.

These curtains are not suitable for you if you are looking for a way to protect your gazebo from rain or strong wind, and also if you want your gazebo to be well heat and sound insulated.

Fabric curtains look very good, but do not perform a protective function

Fabric curtains are most often made from tulle and gauze. However, in recent years, more and more interesting alternatives to traditional materials have emerged.

So, you can find many advertisements for the sale of acrylic curtains for gazebos and verandas. Such curtains not only serve as good protection from direct sunlight, but also protect the gazebo from dust and moisture. They are significantly more durable than tulle or gauze curtains and can withstand even large temperature changes.

Teflon-coated fabric is also a strong and durable material for curtains. The main advantage of Teflon curtains for gazebos and verandas is that Teflon impregnation prevents the material from absorbing moisture and dirt. However, you will have to pay a lot for this advantage, since Teflon-coated fabrics are much more expensive than regular fabric.

Less durable, but much more interesting curtain models can be made from natural materials such as linen, cotton, bamboo, etc.

Bamboo curtains are positively environmentally friendly

The technology for sewing fabric curtains is not much different from sewing ordinary curtains for the home. You will also need to make cornices over each opening of the veranda where you plan to place curtains. It should be possible to easily remove and put back curtains after washing, since dust and dirt from the outside will force you to wash such curtains quite often.

For those who want to better protect their gazebo, there are plenty of other materials besides fabric.

One of the most popular materials for making outdoor curtains is PVC. There are colored and transparent PVC curtains for gazebos and verandas. PVC curtains are often also called awning curtains for gazebos and verandas, since with their help you can also create a lightweight, portable awning on a lightweight structure made of metal or PVC profiles.

Colored curtains are actually a complete replacement for the walls of the gazebo. Preference should be given to calm, light colors such as green, yellow and brown, which do not irritate the eyes and will not heat up in the sun, creating a kind of greenhouse inside the gazebo.

It should be noted that the inability of PVC curtains to allow air to pass through is perhaps their main drawback. On the one hand, such tightness provides good protection from adverse weather conditions and allows you to retain heat in the room longer. On the other hand, you will need to periodically ventilate the room so that the gazebo does not become too stuffy. However, this problem can be solved by installing a window or door directly in the curtain fabric.

Plastic curtains for gazebos and verandas are easy to clean. They are quite strong and durable, do not rot or fade in the sun. However, during strong winds and storms it is recommended to roll them up, as otherwise they may tear.

Like any plastic, plastic curtains are very practical in use.

The most vulnerable place of this type of curtains is their attachment points. There are several ways how PVC curtains can be attached to the openings of the gazebo. The most common involves the use of ordinary strong twine.

• The required amount of PVC fabric based on the size of the gazebo;
• Set of metal eyelets;
• Scissors;
• Metal fastenings or anchors;
• Durable synthetic twine.

If you are just thinking about how to build a gazebo on your site, we recommend reading an article about constructing a canopy, which can become the basis of a veranda. Read the link to learn how to make a brick barbecue yourself. Perhaps a suitable option would be to make a gazebo roof from polycarbonate https://vse-postroim-sami.ru/building/roof/2359_kak-sdelat-kryshu-iz-polikarbonata/.

The process of making such curtains is extremely simple.

1. Measure the required amount of fabric for each opening. Curtains should extend at least 10 cm from the floor.
2. Place eyelets at equal intervals along the edges of the measured pieces of fabric.
3. Install a fastener that will hold the twine with the curtain.
4. Thread the twine through the eyelets and wrap it around the mount.

About sizes

When choosing a canvas, you need to decide not only on its appearance, model, material of manufacture, inherent properties, but also on its dimensions. Curtains with correctly selected parameters will help emphasize the appearance of the room and hide minor imperfections. If the height and width of the product are determined incorrectly, then even the most beautiful options will ruin the stylish structure.

Dimensions for curtains made from different raw materials will vary. The method of their fastening, the type and design features of the structure also play a big role. For example, for glazed verandas, fabric curtains can be hung on a cornice fixed to the ceiling or walls in three standard ways: to the floor, to the window sill, below the window sill. For open structures, without side partitions, it is better to use options that extend to the floor covering, or blinds, roller blinds, which can be fixed at any distance from the floor, completely or partially enclosing the room.

For roller blinds, the parameters depend on the installation method. If they are located directly between the support posts, then their width is determined by the exact distance between the elements, taking into account the guides. When installing curtains behind or in front of load-bearing supports, they should be 10-20 cm larger than the opening and completely cover it in order to maximally protect the space from the penetration of light and moisture. Also, the canvas should have such a length that it reaches the floor surface with a small margin. When the structure is placed on a window, it can extend beyond its limits, covering only the transparent part.

For fabric options, the height is measured from the place of installation to the floor covering with an indentation of 1-4 cm. Some people hang longer products that partially lie on the floor. The width is determined based on the size of the opening in question, the need for folds on the curtain, usually for fabric models it is 1.5 or more times larger than the window or the intersupport distance. It is better to install the tarpaulin under tension.
